Abstract
Different factors like curvature, varying geometry and a shrinkage fit joint on a certain part of a component gives good challenges for ultrasonic inspection. Inspection was performed from the axial inside hole of the axle. EDM - notches have been placed to postulated crack initiating places on the outer surface of the axle. The defect depths varied from 0.3 mm to 2 mm. Normally the depth of a calibration defect I mm. For the inspection the applicability of two probes were studied: mode conversion probe and 45° transversal probe. The measurements are carried out with a PC-based mechanised ultrasonic inspection system.
